Verso University is happy to present this music-making, community-building program as part of Frederic Chiu’s broader project with communities near and far. Through The LID Sessions, Frederic invites people from the community to take a chance and “Lay It Down” for an audience of their fellow community members. The playing doesn't have to be perfect, and the audience doesn't need to know how to play; the shared experience creates connection for everyone.
Note: Due to ongoing issues with the air conditioning unit in the Library, the English conversation group will be canceled for Monday, June 24. The program will return as scheduled […]
A series of classes where participants draw a location and study uses of composition, line, and value to capture the mood and story of a place. The class will meet on Tuesdays, June 4 -June 25 from 10-11:30 am. Weather permitting, be prepared to draw locations outside, along the Saugatuck River and Jesup Green environment. The instructor, Tim Cronin, has taught drawing and cartooning at Silvermine School of Art, Darien Art Center, Norwalk Art Space. He is a graduate of NYC’s School of Visual Arts with a BFA in cartooning and illustration. Tim also has had a colorful career as a tattoo artist, illustrator, sign painter, and calligrapher. This is a wonderful opportunity if you're an artist who wants to improve and stay in shape with their drawing skills, or if you're a beginner looking to try something new. This workshop is also for people that would like to participate in something creative with others. The group will be invited to challenge themselves about how they see, look, think and create their drawings.
